Swedish tacos are currently trending on social media because of one very unexpected ingredient. TikTok

A TikTok video peeled back the curtain on how Swedes do taco night, and one ingredient in particular left American viewers completely baffled.

The video, initially shared in February, started off like any typical taco night: someone chopping red onions, tomatoes and lettuce, setting out a bowl of shredded cheese, and whipping up some guacamole. They were then recorded seasoning minced meat.

Then comes a bowl of chopped cucumbers, which some users found a little unexpected, but things really took a turn when bananas were added to the mix. The creator assembled a Swedish taco, topped off with a few banana slices.

Americans users lost their minds over the unexpected banana topping in the now-viral video, which has since amassed more than 1.4 million views.

"I was like this is just tacos, why is it Swedish tacos, then I saw the banana—explained everything," one user wrote.

"BANANA?? Straight to jail," another added.

"I'm gonna tell myself that's a plantain and not a banana so I can sleep tonight," one person commented.
